Gary Neville heaps praise on Marcus Rashford after his fine display in Man United's win over Liverpool FC
Gary Neville heaped praise on Marcus Rashford for his strong display in Manchester United’s 2-1 win over Liverpool FC in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The England international was in fine form for the Red Devils as he gave the home side the lead with a brilliant finish in the 14th minute.
Rashford then doubled the home side’s lead just 10 minutes later when he swept home another brilliant strike to make it 2-0.
However, Liverpool FC fought back when Eric Bailly netted an own goal in the 67th minute at Old Trafford.
Rashford was in superb form throughout as the Red Devils impressed in front of their home fans.
And former Manchester United defender Neville was particularly impressed by Rashford’s contribution in the first half at Old Trafford.
Speaking during Sky Sports‘ coverage of the game, Neville said: “Rashford made runs in behind Trent Alexander-Arnold in first 10-15 minutes and the full-back didn’t cope with it.
“Once he gets him in the box, he’s in trouble, big trouble.
“There have been suggestions that Marcus Rashford doesn’t have a future at Manchester United. Well he’s back in play, because that’s an absolutely wonderful finish.
“Brilliant run, brilliant turn and the finish is even better. Loris Karius has absolutely no chance.”
Rashford has now scored six Premier League goals this season.
Next up for Manchester United is their home clash against Sevilla in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
The Red Devils drew the first leg against the Spanish side 0-0 last month.
Liverpool FC, meanwhile, will return to Premier League action with a home clash against Watford next Saturday afternoon.
